FtL S01E24 – Hysteria

Posted on December 5, 2014

Earlier this year, Amazon boldly invested in a TV pilot that tried to dissuade their customers from using the Internet. Unfortunately/fortunately for Amazon their risk didn’t pay off, and now we may never really know the mysteries of the “Hysteria” universe.

A universe where everyone freaks out over a contagion that only infects three people (maybe). A universe where Laura San Giacomo plays an elderly grandmother. A universe where the only cure for this mystery illness is not spending 9 hours at your computer watching the same YouTube video.

Might not be that implausible though, considering we live in a universe where a show that thinks a viral video could spread an actual virus was made in 2014 by an internet-based company.

For every tv show that airs, there are dozens more that don’t. Their pilot episodes are usually cast aside never to be seen. But now, The Consumption are reaching deep into television history to bring you their thoughts on the TV shows that never were.

They’re pretty much all terrible.

This is Failure to Launch.
